Conditions : LAKE LAMAR BRUCE: Bass - Bass are in various phases of the spawn, and the bite has been good lately. Texas-rigged lizards, creature baits and shakeyheads are all catching fish.

Crappie - Similar to the bass, the crappie are spawning. Any cover in 4-10' of water should be holding fish. Jigs are the go-to baits right now.

The bream bite is improving, but hasn't really taken off yet. Tightlining earthworms, mealworms, or redworms from the earthen piers may produce some shellcrackers.

No reports on catfish. Tight lining liver and/or worms off the wooden and earthen piers in both the pond and the big lake can be productive.

About: - Lake Lamar Bruce, once known as Lake Lee, was opened in 1954. It is one of 21 state fishing lakes operated by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. Historically known for its tremendous bream fishery, the lake also contains good populations of largemouth bass, crappie and channel catfish. Renovations during the last two years of existing gravel beds and other fish attractors make Lamar Bruce a popular destination. Three fishing piers located along the shoreline provide good bank access. A new boat ramp accommodates boats of all sizes. Presently, there are no harvest regulations for any species. However, statewide creel limits do apply. Sportfishing licenses are required to fish with the exception of July 4th. Fishing permits are also required.
